I agree with him when he said We should be doing more, with volunteer efforts and to give them the kind of welcome home that, he noted, returning Vietnam veterans were denied a generation ago.
Thank you Mr. Bush for acknowledging our brave men & woman who fight and die for this great land. And let us never forget those that have fallen.

Why should we? Some of us are too busy working and paying bills in an overinflated economy at an underpaying job. To hell with volunteering, and to hell with Bush who is too much of a coward (like most if not all politicians) to backup his talk in person instead of having people do it for him...

In a 30 minute address to an estimated 7,000 Marines this morning, President Bush acknowledged the fact that the insurgency is getting worse, and that the newly trained Iraqi soldiers are fighting poorly at times. Flanked by 2 armored vehicles with mounted guns, President Bush received cheers from his audience as he described some American successes.

I would say cajones. Stupidity is a word that I reserve for other issues. Remember it is not the soldiers fault that they are where they are. That came primarily from the decision of one man.
